import java.io.*;
import java.nio.file.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        Code11Options options = Code11OptionsBuilder.create()
            .withShowText(true)
            .withPadding(new Padding(10))
            .withWidth(600)
            .withHeight(150)
            .build();

        Path outputDir = Path.of("output");
        Files.createDirectories(outputDir);

        try (FileOutputStream fileStream = new FileOutputStream(
                outputDir.resolve("code11.png").toFile());
                BarcodeGenerator barcodeGenerator = new BarcodeGenerator(options)) {
            barcodeGenerator.export(
                    "1-234-567-89-00",
                    fileStream,
                    DXImageFormat.getPng());
        }
    }
}

Fluent API
